Beraca launches range of rainforest-sourced actives

Brazilian cosmetics and personal care company Beraca Ingredients
has launched a new line of active ingredients sourced primarily
from the Brazilian rainforests and said to be completely natural,
reports Simon Pitman.

The range includes four new formulations, one for treating
dandruff, an anti-acne formula, a skin revitalizing formula and a
hair care treatment, all of which are being launched on a global
basis, with a particular emphasis on both European and North
American markets.

"Performance Systems is a line of multifunctional systems,
developed by Beraca with the purpose of making the productive
process easier, costs feasible and to minimize storage space,"​
Filipe Sabará, Beraca Ingredient's​ marketing director told
CosmeticDesign.com​.

"The Performance System ingredients are absolutely new and
have been developed using the company's knowledge of natural
Brazilian ingredients and the specific market requirements for
actives,"​ Sabará added.

Sabará also emphasised that in sourcing its ingredients from the
Brazilian rain forests, the company is also adheres to guidelines
enforced by the Forest Stewardship Council, an organisation that
overseas the strict management and sustainability of the world's
rainforest resources.

Turning to the new ingredients, ADA System is an anti-dandruff
treatment that is rich in a special active treatment for dry or
oily scalps that develop dandruff. Actives include
beta-cariophylene, obtained from copaiba, as well as oil and
selenium from castanha do para oil. The formulation helps fight
fungus found in scalps that is often attributed to dandruff.

Triple A System is an anti-acne treatment made from 100 per cent
natural ingredients, including actives that treat oily skin that
forms pimples. The active ingredients also include
beta-cariophylene, as well as flavonoid extracted from acai oil and
andirobina liminoid, obtained from andirobina oil. The actives in
this formulation help to regulate oil secretion, fight the acne,
soothe inflammation and also help to cleanse the skin.

The company says that its ARS Body System contains the same
flavonoids, together with gama-oryzanol - an antioxidant, rice oil
and omega-6 extracted from passion fruit oil to help regenerate
skin.

For haircare the ARS System relies on totally natural
ingredients, that again include flavanoid, gama-oryzanol, rice oil
and omega-6 in a formula that is said to provide added moisture,
nutrive, regenerative and antioxidant properties for hair.

Just launched on the global market, the ingredients are
available through local distributors in 24 countries, including the
US, Argentina, UK, Germany, France, Poland, China and Japan.
